Walking Comfortably Again After Years of Leg Pain
Annette H. sought treatment at the United Vein & Vascular Center in River Forest after dealing with persistent leg pain, especially in her right leg. The discomfort had reached the point where she began physical therapy, but her therapist became concerned about the possibility of a blood clot and recommended that she have her legs evaluated before continuing treatment.
After contacting her orthopedic physician, Annette was referred to UVVC. When she arrived, the care team quickly arranged a scan of her legs to rule out a blood clot before sending her home. Although a clot was not found, the evaluation revealed underlying vein issues that needed attention.
Working with Dr. Tursunaliev, Annette began treatment with VenaSeal™ therapy to address the affected veins. She appreciated how thoroughly the doctor explained her results and treatment options, taking time to answer every question and ensure she understood the plan moving forward.
Following treatment, Annette noticed remarkable improvements. The discomfort she once felt in her legs has largely disappeared, allowing her to walk comfortably again with only occasional minor twinges. She also shared that she feels much more confident about her health and the progress she has made.
Beyond the results of her treatment, Annette was especially impressed with the care she received from the entire clinic team. From the front desk staff to the clinical specialists, she described everyone as welcoming, compassionate, and attentive throughout her visits.
For Annette, the experience went far beyond simply treating her symptoms. She says the kindness and professionalism of the team helped ease her anxiety and made the entire process feel supportive from start to finish.
For anyone who may be unsure about seeking treatment, Annette strongly recommends scheduling an evaluation. She shares that her experience gave her confidence in the care she received and encourages others with similar symptoms to get checked and explore their options.
